Renal disease

Our group is conducting a wide portfolio of research studies into aspects of kidney disease. We predominantly use Electronic Health Records and other sources of routine data. We are always interested in new collaborations and if you are interested in working with us please get in touch.

National Chronic Kidney Disease Audit

The National CKD Audit is being implemented in England and Wales to provide a comprehensive picture of management and outcomes for people with CKD stages 3-5 in the region. It aims to improve the quality of patient care and assesses each GP practice against NICE CKD quality guidelines and standards to encourage quality improvement.

We are studying the prevalence and outcomes of kidney disease among people with psychiatric illness with a particular focus on the side-effects of medications in this population.

Diabetes and kidney disease

Previous work looking at the association between CKD and infections among diabetics has led to a broader programme of work studying the effect of diabetes treatments in slowing the development of kidney disease.
